I told you so!

Boys dormitory, boys club, mama boys, iya boys, boys squad, team boys, boys this boys that. I have heard all sorts of boys themed names all because I'm a mother of all boys. 

Sometimes it's exasperating being the only female at home I must admit. There's no girl to mix and match with or do all the girl's talk and stuff  with. This leaves me wondering if I should try just one more time.

But then, I'm forty two this year and if I start trying now considering that I may not be as fertile as I used to be it may take close to a  year or more to conceive and adding the period of delivery of my baby, I'd be like forty five years old then.

By the time my beautiful daughter is ten, mama will be fifty five and by the time she's a teenager I should be close to sixty. 

When she's ready to marry and start her own family I will be like seventy years old and the reason for having my daughter in the first place would have bbeen defeated.

When she's in primary school with her mates whose parents could be in their twenties her own mother would be like her grandma.

This reminds me of my earlier years; being the eight child of my parents, my parents were easily older than a lot of my mates' parents.

I remember lying to a classmate once. Sister Ebere came to pick me from primary school in her very sleek Mustang car which dad gifted her that year, a classmate asked if she was my mum and I said yes. Lol!!

It was safer to just say yes than to explain to her tge next day how I had a sister who could drive. The next time it was sister number two sister NkeChi that came to pick me from school.  

She came in mother's 504 Peugeot car; the same busy body class mate was there yet again but before she could ask me any questions I jumped into the car.

Anyway to save my future daughter the stress of having to explain to her friends that I am her mother and not grandmother. I'll just have to pass on this temptation and rock my status as "Nne boys"

Besides, my boys are turning out really well and it's looking good; like they will take good care of us and also let me come take care of their babies first before the mother in law comes. Teeheehee!

Before you condemn me, I did same for mine, I gave her the first right of taking care of her grandchildren before mother which was totally fine with Beatrice my mother. It wasn't just eye service I truly loved to have her around. 

Yes I demand same from my future daughters in law. In fact they will sign an agreement for me to that effect. Lol!

Future daughters in law, please take note! Do not say that we did not warn you.

I will surely enjoy all those rights and privileges that many fear I will not enjoy as a mother of all boys. Anything you can think of that mothers get up to with their girls I'll do same with my boys while I still can.

I know that one day they will love other women just as much as they love me (I can't even say they may love them more, its painful in the mouth) and may have to say something that will make me think they have relegated me to the back. 

I'm prepared for then. I'll just cry quietly in my bedroom and face Victor my husband who will definitely be there to say to me "I told you so" SMH
